July 4th DIY Patriotic T-Shirt

A cute patriotic shirt is a must have for the upcoming July 4th holiday and our DIY Patriotic T-Shirt is fun to make and would be great for girls & boys of all ages! It’s made with upcycled materials and can be put together easily in a couple of hours.

Decide on a placement for where the flag will be sewn onto the t-shirt and lay pieces in place to mark. The pieces should look something like this. I like to place the flag at an angle for a couple of reasons. First, it will look like the flag is blowing in the air and second, I don’t have to sew it on perfectly straight!

Step 2

After you have decided where the flag will be placed, begin sewing on the denim patch. You will sew this on with the white thread and this very basic stitch that will look like stars. You simply stitch a small cross in each corner with a straight stitch coming up from the middle of the cross. Knot each stitch on the backside of the t-shirt.

Step 3

Continue adding the small cross stitches and straight tips until you have many white stars against the blue.

Step 4

Using a basic strait stitch add the strips of red t-shirt to the flag as shown. The stitches are not seen and do not have to be perfect! That’s great for keeping this craft quite simple. Add all stripes to the flag to finish the project.

The t-shirt scraps roll and create great stripes that look to be blowing in the wind. This great t-shirt is not only perfect and patriotic for this July 4th but for any occasion you wish to show your USA pride!

Our family has a tradition of wearing matching or coordinating patriotic shirts for our July 4th celebration. Does your family have a July 4th tradition? Please share with us!

This is such a cute idea, I wish I would’ve found it sooner (filing it away for next year!). Last year I got my son a 4th of July tee from Old Navy. Now that we have two kids this year, I got my son a navy and white check button down shirt and my daughter a red and white check romper – festive without being too match-matchy. I can’t wait to take pictures!

Very cute for sure!! Thanks for sharing. I was at Michaels the other day and I almost bought some paint for t-shirts to design my own somehow. I am too busy with other things to start another project. This is a fun one too!

I love the shirt. So cute and it is so easy to make. I love patriotic things because it shows my pride in my country. I would love to make a shirt like this for myself and my grandsons for the 4th. Thanks for the idea. Also I love that it will be inexpensive.

[…] absolutely love this DIY Patriotic T-Shirt from A Mom’s Take. Not only is it easy to make, but I think that the way the red t-shirt […]
